Very disconnected. Was not engaged with what my issue was. I do trust the diagnosis he gave me and hopefully some of the recommendations will work.
Good doctor. Has great bedside manner. Easy to talk to.
He actually cared!
Dr. Kaufman is the best. I had a surgery prior to seeing him that was not done correctly. Dr. Kaufman gave me hope and then did the revision and I am happy to say got me back to 100%. I never thought I’d be able to walk properly again or without a walking boot. He is very informative and lets you know everything, every step of the way,
Excellent doctor. Very professional and passionate of what he does. I wish him well on his upcoming retirement!
To the point covered the details and possibilities of my injury with information I could utilize.
Excellent doctor
